Tire is a bit too tall and since you are lowering it you may have a rubbing problem.... besides that you should be ok....

BTW they are Enkei wheels not Enkey

Haha, I didn't even realize a wrote that, I'll take a slap in the face next time ya see me. I think I posted that around 5 in the morning. I'd hate to have to get them in 16". I haven't seen to many people droppin anything on a Yaris bigger than 17" without havin rubbin problems. Uhm...except that one dude with dubs...

So you think spacers would clear up this problem if it becomes aparent?

think the correct size tire and/or a less of a drop would solve the problem, spacers may make it worse running to large of a tire

No, that is incorrect. You have it backwards. The lower the offset the further the wheel will be pushed outward.

DO NOT GET 205 45

get 215 40 17(recommended), or 205 40 17 (I'm not sure how that will work)

I got the 205 45 17 and im scared to lower it....its great when its not lower but makes me look like a clown mobile...check my sign and see my car pictures.
My wheels are 17 7.5 with 42 offset.
